atelier FCJZ: AUDI haus
'AUDI haus' by atelier FCJZ at F1 international racing circuit, shanghai
all images courtesy of atelier FCJZ
an AUDI vehicle inside. the glass panels are arranged to produce multiple reflections of the car,
eventually blending into each other, creating the illusion of movement and rotation as the viewer walks around the display.
the slices disperse from the corner, resulting in different intensities of light refraction. a diagonal pathway allows users
to enter the pavilion and see the car from up close. while inside, the fragmented reflections are transfered onto
the surrounding city, creating an obscure atmosphere and an intimate experience with the audi.
view of glass panel installation
all the structural components, including the lighting is concealed within the steel pedestal. the density and opacity of the metal
contrasts the transparency of the glass which it supports. to eliminate the use of any fixtures, a triangular doorway
is adopted which aids the transfer of the weight of the glass down into the base. due to the lack of space between the planes,
the base had to be constructed in parts as the glass pieces were being placed. once the structure was complete,
the car was placed inside using a crane.
the installation is currently at the F1 international racing circuit in shanghai.
